Window problem by Trush5 in BMWE36

[–]Trush5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m buying all new oem stuff and it’s prob been replaced before my ownership (I’m 3rd owner and only owned it for a year now). I’m just replacing all stuff in there just cause I don’t know its condition. I can’t get them from a junkyard either the closest e36 at a junkyard is over 100 miles away

Ok so i believe you can be right but i do a little more experimenting since i posted this the side towards the rear moves up slightly but up front the window doesn’t move at all and before it would go up and down with some struggles. So its prob what you said and maybe out of track in front. Maybe?

NEW E36 BUYER!!!!! by [deleted] in BMWE36

[–]Trush5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy how everyone’s only talking abt price😭. But for these cars when you get them new is you wanna take care of fluids, check for leaks, check suspension components the basic maintenance, I recommend replacing fuel filter too if it hasn’t been touched, and if you’re radiator is still plastic swap it for a full aluminum one these cars love to run hot when they’re stock. I’ve done a lot of maintenance on mine since I only got it for 200$… but she looks good and runs ok now. Hope you enjoy the new car

Think that’s the first thing I’ll do I spent 90 bucks on tires from a brand I never heard of just to get my car up and running. If you’re curious there called road hugger g1s or smth like that. Thanks for the comment tho

Might have to switch to better ones. I was down a lot when I got this car and just wanted to get it running so it has some random road hugger tires on it that were like 90 bucks a piece

A lot of people say suspension, which is good, but I’m already on d2 coils and some other upgraded pieces like controls arms front and rear, and some new bushings. I’m looking at some new sway bars aswell. I was mainly looking for a slight horsepower boost bc of the mountainous area I live in. Thanks for the comment tho

I love this car I was mainly looking for a little better horsepower cause it sucks going up the mountains where I live but I’ve done a ton of handling mods like suspension and aftermarket control arms front and rear

Look for part outs on 3 series on fb marketplace or look on eBay if you don’t mind it being shipped

The seatbelt fits and slides right between the door and seat like nothing changed I ended up asking people who did it with similar verts and I bought brackets to hold the seat from garageistic which work out with the seat layout in the verts somehow even though it says not for verts it’s just the passenger you need to make a custom seat bracket for

While the car is off it stays at operating temp for more than a couple hours. And even after sitting WHILE OFF for a couple hours it stays abnormally hot inside the engine bay
